W1A — Series 3 Episode 6

With the time for speaking now over, it’s time for something else. For everyone, it’s time to dance. At last, after everything that’s happened, it looks as if a future of some kind for the BBC is finally underway, and perhaps, for the moment, that’s all that matters. Perhaps it’s enough that the night is still young.

W1A — Series 3 Episode 6

Meanwhile, Izzy has emerged from her meeting with director general Tony Hall and his people about the Hugh Grant affair. Astonishingly, for both Izzy and for the BBC, there’s been some good news overnight in the shape of an intervention from a completely unexpected quarter. It appears that no less a person than Sir David Attenborough himself has now become involved.

Oh look, Willy showing us he doesn’t have problem acknowledging everything he LIKES! But when it’s about his duty, it’s always the bare minimum.

Where is this same energy about Rugby? Or Women’s rugby? Now we know that Willy not showing up for Football Women’s World Cup in Australia was more about not interrupting his holidays than the ‘it’s too far for a 14 hrs flight, I need to take care of the environment!’ excuse. I get 🇦🇺 was indeed far but for a man who has travelled to Monaco, Istanbul, France in private jet and god know where other countries to watch his PERSONAL team I think he can have an ‘excuse’ to travel far from UK as FA Patron.

But it seems it’s working, in X many tweets calling him a ‘wonderful relatable future King’ just because he likes and celebrates football like us!!! (I’ve have to wonder if it’s KP’s pr or what because every time he is put there celebrating like maniac, we have the same line)

I’ve already seen Wales fans trying to say that this is the same as QE liking race horses, and well, show me moments in which QE didn’t do her duty properly and worked more for her personal interests than for the country? Nobody has a problem with Willy not having any intelectual brain cell and liking football, the problem is that his personal interests comes to the expense of not doing his duty.

Plus, what do you think about the recent reports about the Duchy?

Pd. Why CinderWilly?? Hahahahaha

William couldn't even show up for women's rugby in the recent Six Nations tournament. They played games in April, when Lambrook was on vacation. He could have gone. Kate could have gone. Either of them could have taken one or more kids to a game.

But nooooooo. They had to spend time filming professional videos and taking photos instead.

QEII had a work ethic! As did Philip. Charles. Anne. Edward. Both Edwards actually. William? Seems to be allergic to work. Barely works when he's not on vacation yet he'll still take FIVE (5) months off!

"CinderWilly" knows he's got a bad reputation regarding his work ethic, which is why I have no doubt that he organized his work schedule around that Europa League final before Aston Villa qualified for it. He knew it was a possibility and held out hope that they would make it.

Yeah, the 2023 Women's World Cup and Will & Kate's littlest issue.

I haven't read that piece in The Times yet. I'm behind. I don't think it's as altruistic as THE KP TITANIC is trying to portray it. I know there are certain rules regarding selling off Duchy of Cornwall assets to prevent a single heir from just pocketing the money. I'm not sure how that is going to work with this attempt to sell off assets to help nature and the homeless.

The Duchy of Cornwall is about to become a complete, heat-score topic in the UK next month. Everything I've seen so far leads me to believe that whatever it is they are doing is an attempt to save/prevent the Duchy of Cornwall from being used by parliament to sanction William. Ten years to sell off a fifth of that duchy? Ten years is a long-range plan and is further proof that William doesn't believe that Charles is dying anytime soon.

Extract from The Book of Impossible Objects by Will Humphries

Letter from the Author

Dear Reader,

In December 1999 my grandfather died. This was a great tragedy since he had longed with genuine passion to pass alive into the twenty-first century, convinced that within it he might find new curiosities to behold. Though there had always been a certain bond of affection between the two of us, it was only several years before his passing that I had any notion of the extent of the collection that a lifetime had amassed. This book contains a description of some of the objects that came into my possession after his death. Though they remained a closely guarded secret during his lifetime, known only to those closest to him, it is fitting that a new millennium should see these wonders for itself.

For just under one hundred years, my grandfather had searched the globe for various objects that excited his imagination. Many of them are manmade, while others are natural; however, the most curious amongst them defy such simple categorization. In cataloguing this collection, I have tried to provide as much information as I can on each object. Whilst this may take the form of simple data collection, along the lines of weight and dimensions, I have also attempted to provide a more detailed description of the object in order to explain its origin or mechanics. The order in which I present them has no significance (I believe) and represents merely the haphazard manner in which I have approached the task. I hope this book will suffice as a fitting tribute to my grandfather. He was a cryptic man in life and so too, it seems, in death.

#21: The Inverse Mirror

This is a most curious object that my grandfather added to his collection many years before his death. I would describe it as a mirror, however it singularly fails to perform the function one would expect of such an object. Indeed, when standing in front of it, instead of seeing your own face reflected in the glass, you are presented with the back of your head. The experience is somewhat similar to being at a barber’s shop, where, upon having completed a trim of your hair, the patron holds up a mirror behind your head in order to allow you that rarest of glimpses: the nape of your own neck. My grandfather was much amused by this object and, having heard its whereabouts from a friend, was determined to acquire it. His notebook gives some details as to its origin, but I have been forced to retrace some of the steps in order to discover the truth behind its construction.

The Inverse Mirror came into my grandfather’s collection in 1961 having been bought for £10 6s from a traveling fair. The fair itself, so I am informed by his notebook, had been using it as part of a sideshow, where customers could pay 1d to stand in front of it. One might think that such an object would never lose its fascination; however, when my grandfather bought it, it seems that the fair was happy to get it off their hands. I suppose by the 1960s people were losing interest in such novelties and the fair needed the money to pay for repairs on one of its rides. In any case, my grandfather came away with the mirror for a very modest fee considering his fascination with it.

My grandfather writes in his notebook that he wished to discover the craftsman who built the mirror; however, having poured over every page it seems he never found the answer. Of course, he was a fairly old man when the internet began to emerge, and when he died, one day shy of his one hundredth birthday, the digitization of newspapers was still in its infancy. In any case, having seen the question of provenance scribbled in his notebook I took it upon myself to complete the quest that he had started all those years ago.

As one might expect, a mirror that shows the back of your head had not passed totally unnoticed by the world, even if its novelty had eventually waned. It took me several weeks of searching, but I was eventually able to find an article in a small Bavarian newspaper from 1854 which seemed to be describing the object that had so delighted my grandfather. In the article, which was sandwiched between a piece on sheep shearing and an advertisement for felt hats made by Geof Trutz, there was a name given: Hanz Gefaldenburg, master craftsman. I should note that the article was in German and so I am giving you the best possible translation that my scant knowledge of the language allows. Hanz Gefaldenburg was the name though; he was the man who had built this wondrous object.

The article was little more than one hundred words and offered only a modest description of the man who had somehow constructed this aberration of physics. However, a small picture had been included which showed the craftsman standing next to his work, an exact likeness to the object now in my possession. It seems that upon completing this mirror, Gefaldenburg had been unsure what to make of it. He had certainly not intended to construct the mirror in this way, and further attempts to reproduce the feat had been fruitless. An obituary for Hanz Gefaldenburg upon his death in 1886 seems to suggest that the craftsman had devoted the remainder of his life trying to puzzle out the mysteries of the mirror, a task that had, it seems, ultimately killed him. Having seen the pain caused by the mirror, his son sold the object that same year to a local furniture dealer and by several twists of fate it had arrived in the hands of the travelling fair from which my grandfather acquired it.

It is a strange object that, to my knowledge, has no practical use. But then again, how many of the objects in my grandfather’s collection can claim such an attribute. As with so many of the best things in the world, the Inverse Mirror is wonderful precisely because it has no use; it is wonderful because even after having stood in front of it so many times, I am still surprised every time to see an untidy mass of my own hair staring back.
